(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#15 (fb) - BTS) - Paco's
father instructed him to accompanied his brother, Enriqué,
to Boca del Dios on a mission to explore the lost Temple of Quetzalcoatl in the
hopes that some hard work might cure Paco of his "lazy, good-for-nothing ways."

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#18 (fb) - BTS) - El Aguila
tracked down army payroll thief Christobal Santiago--sent as a test of courage
by his brother, the experienced criminal el Ojo--and brought him back to the
authorities, where he was killed before a firing squad.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#15 (fb) - BTS) - As the natives were afraid to come to la Boca for fear of Quetzalcoatl's curse, Enriqué was forced to hire a group of
desperados--including el Ojo, who secretly plotted to steal Quetzalcoatl
's treasure and then kill the explorers--to help
out with the excavating.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#15) - As el Aguila, Paco
observed the Phantom Rider's encounter with a group of banditos. Paco was about
to step in and lend a hand, but the Phantom Rider frightened off the banditos on
his own.
The following morning, back at Enriqué's
base camp, Paco pretended to get up late in the day as Carter Slade arrived to
join the expedition.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#16) - Paco was part of the
expedition approaching the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, and Carter had Enriqué
stop him from blundering into the traps set near the Temple. Everyone followed
Enriqué's lead, but they set off some of the
traps anyway. As the walls began to close in--along with various other
threats--el Ojo commanded his men to kill the explorers, take whatever treasure
they could, and get out with their lives. Paco, Enriqué,
and Carter fought back, but Carter fell though a trap door into a spiked pit.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#17) - Carter narrowly evaded
the trap, while Paco and Enriqué ended up at el
Ojo's gunpoint. When the Phantom Rider confronted the banditos, Paco and
Enriqué escaped--with Paco intending to return as
el Aguila, after which the Phantom Rider was captured by the banditos.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#18 (fb) - BTS) - From a
hiding place up on the hill, Paco and Enriqué
watched as the banditos drank heavily and celebrated for hours their victory
over their attacker, whom they wrongly believed to have been el Aguila.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#18) - When Enriqué
considered rushing down to stop the banditos, Paco knocked him out with a blow
to the back of his neck and then headed off to change into el Aguila and stop
the criminals himself. He arrived just as the severely weakened Phantom Rider
escaped his would-be killers (who believed him to have been killed). Unaware of
el Aguila's presence, the discouraged Phantom Rider wondered aloud how he could
stop the criminals when they knew he wasn't a ghost. El Aguila responded, "You
must make them fear the man!"

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#19) - While the Phantom
Rider used a spectral image to frighten and draw the attention of the banditos,
el Aguila stole el Ojo's blasting supplies and used a series of explosions to
stun and disorient them. The remaining banditos--drunk on tequila--quickly fell
victim to the Phantom Riders' fists and tricks, and to el Aguila's slashing
sword (as well as the occasional double-eye gouge). El Aguila and the Phantom
Rider pursued el Ojo as he fled into the Temple--as the nearby volcano began to
rumble.

(Original Ghost Rider Rides Again#20) - El Aguila confronted
el Ojo, denying his accusations of his blame for Christobal's death and instead
blaming el Ojo. El Aguila dodged el Ojo's swordthrust and then disarmed him, but
the volcanic eruption caused an idol to collapse atop el Aguila, stunning him.
The Phantom Rider then arrived, distracting el Ojo from killing el Aguila, and
the Phantom Rider made el Ojo believe that the collapsing temple was a result of
his power. Believing the Phantom Rider's powers, the terrified el Ojo listened
to his statement that the afterlife demanded punishment for el Ojo's crimes, and
el Ojo shot himself in the head.
Afterwards, Paco and Carter returned to the la Boca, meeting
the recovered Enriqué and feigning ignorance of the
banditos' defeat. Carter then bade them both farewell.

(Marvel Westerns: Outlaw Files) - In Colombia on family business Paco befriend dancer Raoul
Hernandez. He investigated futilely when Hernandez vanished after being
approached by a mysterious woman (possibly Ixchel of the Ahau (Mayan gods), Mama
Cocha of the Apu (Inca gods), or Chalchiuhtlique of the Teteoh (Aztec gods);
Hernandez went on to become Highnote of the Young Gods.

(Marvel Westerns: Outlaw Files) - Later during a Boca del Dios/Delvadia border war, an aging el Aguila struggled against the younger Delvadian agent el Tarantula. Both eventually went missing and were presumed dead.

Comments: Created by Dan Slott, and Dick Ayers.

Boca del Dios is translated to "The Mouth of God" or something
like that. El Ojo is literally translated as "The Eye," and Dan Slott confirms
that to have been his name.

The modern day el Aguila was from Madrid, Spain, but I don't
think Paco's home was named. However, Dan Slott confirms that both Paco & Enriqué
were from Spain.

Dan Slott further confirms the date of this
adventure as 1872, as well as the fact that Paco is the ancestor of Alejandro. I might guess 4-6 generations between Paco and Alejando, but
the sliding time scale keeps on a-rollin'. Nearly sixteen years have passed
since the story was printed, adding nearly an additional generation in there...
